Practical how-to guides on computers and technology are ubiquitous but many women find them off-putting. Theyre ugly, geeky, and written for men. While there are plenty of brilliant female geeks, computers and technology are very male fields and women are often left out. How to Be a Geek Goddess tackles technology from a womans perspective and is designed as a way in for the women who feel marginalized by this very male world. Written in the style of the popular Girlfriends Guides, How to Be a Geek Goddess targets women (ages 30+), with coverage of decidedly female-leaning topics like how to get more done in less time; fitting an ugly computer into a lovely living room; shopping for gear (whether a new computer or the latest television); parenting, health and fitness; online communities; and safety. Author Christina Wood writes in a conversational, girls-night-out style, keeping the book honest, and preventing it from morphing into a fake tech book for women.
